Q: Will silverfish crawl on me in my sleep?

• <div><p>Silverfish can crawl on you in your sleep. They enjoy consuming dandruff and will crawl on your scalp for nourishment. They can also find their way to your hairbrushes and anywhere you&rsquo;ve shed dandruff. It&rsquo;s important to keep pillowcases, sheets and brushes clean to avoid making your bed hospitable for unwanted guests.</p></div>

Q: Do predator decoys work to keep birds away?

• <div><p>Yes, predator decoys work to keep birds away, at least temporarily. However, if the decoy remains motionless in the same spot for a long enough time, the birds will eventually wise up and realize it's a fake. Keep changing the location of the predator decoy to ensure that the birds keep their guard up and maintain their distance.</p></div>

Q: Can termites still eat pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>While pressure-treated wood offers extra protection against decay and insects, it&rsquo;s not entirely immune to termites. These pests can still snack on treated wood, so if you spot them, be ready for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-termite-treatment-cost.htm">termite treatment costs</a> that range anywhere from <b>$73 to $1,730</b>. However, your final price ultimately depends on how bad the infestation is and the treatment method. To keep your deck and home safe, regular inspections and preventative measures &mdash; like sealing gaps around the home and installing screens on doors and windows &mdash; are essential to protect your home, saving you from costly repairs in the future.</p></div>

Q: Are squash bugs invasive?

• <div><p>Squash bugs technically aren&rsquo;t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn&rsquo;t mean that they aren&rsquo;t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.</p></div>

Q: Will fleas die off in the winter if I don’t want to pay for an exterminator?

• <div><p>Cold winter months won&rsquo;t always kill off fleas completely. Your home is typically warm enough for fleas to survive or, at least, for the eggs to lay dormant, ready to hatch when warmer weather arrives. Plus, waiting for the winter isn&rsquo;t a good idea. The infestation will continue to grow, and fleas carry pathogens that can harm humans and pets. </p></div>

"I wasn't sure what the issue was when I first called Chris. He was able to pinpoint the issue (mice) and the entry points into my home they were using. He then set a series of traps to verify they were indeed mice. Chris was honest and up front about his prices and services. He came back to check the traps to verify it was a mice issue, returning as many times as necessary until the mice were gone. He even gave me a separate quote for sealing the entry points and sanitizing the areas the mice were in, giving me the choice to have him do as much or as little work as I felt was necessary. He performed the work above and was at my house when promised. I would recommend Chris and Bauer Wildlife and Pest Solutions to anyone who is having issues."
